On July 19, the student participants of our summer playwriting retreat(entitled Re-Vision) shared their explorations of time travel and history with a captivated audience at First Baptist Church. The work they produced during the two-week retreat has laid the groundwork for a collaborative piece to be performed at the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts in the spring of 2013. See this video and discover what our students have come up with! Daniela Alfaro, Independence Charter 8th grader and student of Teacher Julie Lenard and Teaching Artist Justin Jain, shared her play “What Happens in Church Stays in Church!” during her class’s mini-festival on May 31. Her play, about a lesbian relationship punished by townspeople in front of a church, is one of several courageous visions in mini-festivals across all of our schools.
